The ensemble may be new but they are awesome. They have played during recent services at historic…read moreSt. Andrew's Presbyterian Church Kingston, and I have been very moved. One morning my spirit smiled as Lisa played the virtuoso solo recorder piece "The English Nightingale" by Jacob van Eyck, and John performed the organ piece "le Coucou" by Daquin. Another morning my soul soared as Lisa and John together offered up the reflective and beautifully moving 'Meditation' from Thais by Massenet. Awesome indeed.

From the owner: Classically trained duo, perfect for wedding ceremonies, cocktail hours, receptions, dinners,…read morespecial celebrations, concerts or to provide a beautiful musical tribute to a lost loved one. Specializing in music from the Baroque period (1600-1750) playing period instrument reproductions (recorder and harpsichord). All members of St. Andrew's Baroque Ensemble are highly educated musicians with university and conservatory training, and each has decades of performing experience. They offer free consultations and expert advice with worksheets to make the music selection process easy and fun. If what you desire isn't in their current repertoire, they are also composers and arrangers, and can arrange a pre-existing work to suit your needs. Why not make your event really stand out by commissioning a brand new composition to be performed and premiered just for you? Feel like Frederick the Great with St. Andrew's Baroque Ensemble as your own personal court musicians!

I am a little bias as I am related to Phillip Lai. That said, his lessons speak for themselves; and…read moreafter only a few weeks of lessons, I can't imagine any parent or young artist disagreeing. You can ask for references or get a CD of his recitals which he'll happily provide to any skeptical prospective students. I've known him all my life and I cannot remember a time when the piano was a difficult skill for him. He is truly talented musician. Unlike others who are talented and can't understand why piano is difficult, Phillip knows how to explain the concepts and identify why a person is having trouble. He has a very results oriented method to teaching that differs from typical, stodgy approaches approaches. There are two things that clearly identify his talent in helping students learn this skill. 1) A recent recital had students of all ages (5-85) happy to show their skill in public. Some had only been taking lessons for 1 month. They all were able to complete a full song - of their choosing - and show well in public. 2) His students are happy both going into and coming out of the lesson. It is clear that Phillips enthusiasm is contagious. He knows how to get kids to embrace the joy of the instrument and that ultimately encourages them to practice and improve their skill. 3) He is extremely good with kids of all ages. He recognizes that you are asking him to provide a service. He spends time getting to know his students, what they are trying to accomplish and how to get them to that ability to accomplish this goal. The one downside that I would mention is that due to the popularity of his lessons, he does tend to be fairly booked. That said, I know he works really hard to fit all students in.
